Synopsis: Little Bee is a refugee from Nigeria in Africa who has been a stowaway on a cargo ship and is now in a refugee detention center in Great Britain. While in the detention center she learns how to speak the Queen's English and works hard to put the atrocities of the past behind her.
My Review: This is a heart-wrenching book, with some disturbing parts that I won't soon forget. Although a difficult story to swallow, I still enjoyed it and the writing was well done.
